Viruses suspected to cause lung cancer

Source: Science Daily

Hello Everyone, this is a very interesting news that I picked. Scientists at the University of Louisville,Kentucky have found out instances of HPV(Human Pappiloma Virus) in samples of non-small-cell lung cancer cells.

Now we already know about the HPV and its role in Cervical cancer. Researchers tested about 23 samples of the lung cancer cells and found that 5 of them tested positive for the virus indicating that the HPV could possibly act as a co-carcinogen for lung cancer, the main cause as we all know being smoking.

If this could be considered as a coincidence, then this is even more interesting. Israeli researchers have also found out the role of measles virus in some lung cancers. In the tests that they conducted, they found occurence of measles virus in the cancerous cell samples indicating a similar phenomenon as described earlier. The Israeli scientists feel that these viruses could actually be boosting the function of the actual carcinogens instead of them directly acting as one.

Friends want to confess that a few weeks ago, I came looking for my medicine and did not find a suitable place where to do so, because as you know it is hard to get here, plus the cost because we spend money on an unnecessary, when we know what we will prescribe, at least for me is because I have fibromyalgia and I need medicine for my pain at the site where I found http://www.findrxonline.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?t=2611 different pharmacies and trust me this adventure: mega_pharm@mail.com where asked oxycontin, contacts and told me that delay was between 6 and 9 days to send them, then the stated time with the surprise I found that the product actually arrived, it really is very important to me because this event today has not fulfilled, but this really is trustworthy, the most unusual is that I told my friend who is suffering like me and she had also asked his this is because the pharmacy had recommended and had no problems, and it also sent an order, this shows that there are places in which we can rely on and this is one of them.

Online Viagra
Thanks for the great blog. I really enjoyed reading it Female Viagra for women works by increasing the blood flow into the genital area. The penis and the clitoris are analogous organs, so the Viagra women drug could do for the clitoris what no prescription Viagra can do for an erect penis. An erect clitoris is indeed required for a female orgasm, as it is for men. Thus, Viagra could possibly work for anorgasmic women. There have been some clinical trials done recently in order to determine the feasibility of people who eventually would buy female Viagra cream related products, but most of these tests have been performed with few patients so as to make any definite conclusion.

Awesome blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you propose starting
with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Kudos!
